I jump the gun on absolutely everything, and I 100% admit it. When it is the middle of summer, I can’t wait for fall leaves. When we are trick or treating, I am daydreaming about snow. And when the groundhog tells us there are six more weeks of winter, I’m done! Even though it may not be warm and sunny, you can still do a few things to make your home feel like spring is here to stay.
You would be surprised by what kind of habits, decor, and simple steps can make your home feel open, light, and well, like a bright sunshiny day! After a quick trip to your local Walmart for some necessities and a little motivation, you will have everything you need to make the best of these last few weeks of winter. Take a look at a few of my favorite tips below!
Open The Windows and Doors– Even though it is still 40 degrees out where I live, it is so important to get some fresh air circulating into your home. After all, winter is the most common time for people to get sick and stay inside, so flushing out all of that old air and even feeling a breeze will get you into the spring spirit.
Use Glade® products– After you have aired out your home, make it smell fresh and clean with one of the Glade® Atmosphere Collection™ Fine Fragrance Mist products. These are infused with essential oils and other masterfully crafted fragrances, it is my go-to when wanting a light, fresh scent in the house. My personal favorite is the No.1 Enraptured™ fragrance. With sweet notes of rose, jasmine, apple, honeysuckle, and the spiciness of clove, it leaves you imagining you are in a forest of flowers in 75 degree weather (even though your house is a solid 42 degrees because you just opened all your windows in the middle of winter). Since they are also so reasonably priced, you can get the whole line of fragrances at your local Walmart to create a different feel everyday. Here is the list of fragrances they offer:
Spring Cleaning- Okay, so this one is a given… but it is so true! I swear I only dust my ceiling fans once a year, and it is right before spring. I mean, it is either now or never. Wash your bedding, steam clean the carpets, scrub the windows. The long day will be so worth it in the end, trust me!
Treat Yo’ Self- To some bright colored decor. Pack away every bit of seasonal and holiday decor, and enjoy a bit of blank space for a while. My favorite part after all of the holidays is having my home back to normal. Whether you get a few new throw pillows for your furniture, sheer curtains for an airy feel, or a floral tablecloth, it will help brighten your home and make it feel more open and inviting with lighter colors and bright colored accents.

Bring The Great Outdoors Inside– Let’s face it, it is much too cold to be gardening yet, and even if we did, the ground could still freeze ruining your prep work or killing what you have planted. Get fresh bouquets of flowers to scatter around your home, or even bring mini gardens into your kitchen by keeping fresh herbs or plants on your window sills. Having flowers and greenery is just so dang pretty and might even motivate you to get your hands dirty when gardening season rolls around (well, I said might. ;))
Don’t listen to the groundhog and stay cooped up in a dark, cluttered home for six more weeks based on a shadow. Get in, get things done, and sit back to enjoy your fresh, spring ready home.
